Biology

Abstract thinking was not my forte.

Biology was my fascination.

Diversity of leaf structure was my first research item.

Frogs, toads, cockroaches, butterflies and dragon flies were my interests.

Fortunately or unfortunately I ended up in medicine and never delved into nature until well past 50.

Water plants and orchids were added to the long list.

But, all this started with simple observation.

In a glass bottle, I put a rolled up filter paper leaving just enough space for  bean seeds to stick in. Soil in the middle and bit of water for moisture was my biosphere.

Sun, water, soil and air.

Presto!

A root, a shoot and a pair of leaves.

Invariably, leaves face the sun.
Never towards the center of earth which ever angle the bean seed is placed (erect, horizontal or at an angle,)

Roots toward the center of the earth.

Night and day cycle.

That is all.

Reality of nature.

It is not God that gives the signal.

It is all built in within the seed.

It is the mother earth that is in control of all life on this planet.

The earth is a living being.

Why are we destroying it with War?

Disregarding God and without abstract thinking, a little scientist was born.

He is still alive in me.

It is not a soul but it is little me.
